Hello, is this journal submission template in two columns or one column? I noticed that the template provided by IOP is in two columns, but the articles published in this journal are in one column format. Can you please advise?

No need, usually this is an issue with the reviewer. If a reviewer does not review the manuscript, a new reviewer needs to be found. This happened to me before, the original reviewer did not review my work (rejected it in the first review), so another reviewer was invited to review it later.

After half a month of major repairs, the status changed to "waiting for decision". After a week, it changed to "waiting for review report". Should I send an email to inquire about this?

After the renovation, I encountered a situation similar to yours. Do you think it is necessary to send an email to inquire about it?

After sending it out for four months, suddenly received a request to submit an author change form, but the form was not attached in the email. Sent an email to inquire but still haven't received a reply after a few days, it's a weird operation.

May I ask what is the status display after you have made the revisions? Why has mine been sent for external review again?

You can check the current status on the website, whether it is temporarily accepted or waiting for reviewer comments. If it is temporarily accepted, then wait a little longer. If it changes to waiting for reviewer comments, then it has been submitted again, which means you have to wait again and may need to make revisions.

I also temporarily accepted, it has been half a month now, there has been no follow-up news, but the email said it is 24 hours online, now I am also very anxious...

Recently, I don't know what's going on with this journal. I have submitted quite a few articles myself, and this is the first time I have encountered this situation. My article was accepted at the end of December, but it still hasn't been published. It's really frustrating. Now, I see a lot of articles from the end of last year piled up in the "accepted" section, and I'm still not sure how the editorial department is going to handle them.

This journal is not sure what is happening now. Last year, one revision was rejected. The editors all requested revisions. This year, it is estimated that the number of submissions will be strictly controlled, otherwise there will be a warning.

This journal is in a state of uncertainty. Last year, one article after another was rejected for revisions. The editors all requested revisions. This year, it is estimated that the number of submissions will be strictly controlled.

I have five reviewers, four agreed, one rejected. The editor rejected it, speechless.

Caution! After two months of submission, three reviewers were assigned. The first two reviewers gave one minor revision and one rejection. The editor sent it for a second review. The third reviewer provided minor revisions with very positive feedback. However, the final decision was a rejection, citing belief in the first reviewer's opinion. In just two sentences, they claimed my article lacked a model, showing they never really read it carefully! With one minor revision and one rejection, they ultimately rejected it, wasting over two months of time.
